My friend Henrik told me he always wanted to experience Kullaberg from air, so last Tuesday I invited him on a tour de Kullaberg. We happily took off from Måløv – the sun was shining and the forecast was promising good flying weather.
However, the meteorological conditions were deteriorating towards our destination. When we came closer to crossing the boarder to Sweden, we could see that despite the mist we would be able to maintain a VFR flight and decided to continue.
Before landing in ESMH http://nsf.se/flygklubben/esmh we went to say hello to Kullaberg from air.
The city of Mölle on its southern side:
I have good relations with several people in NSF – Nordvästra Skånes Flygklubb – from whom I can borrow a car when I visit Höganäs. Henrik was very proud to drive this Audi:
We drove to Kullaberg, and on our way stopped by Krapperup Castle:
I always wanted to see this place, and never had the time. The Krapperup Estate dates from medieval times, but the existing manor, except the wings, is from the 16th century. There are old farm buildings, beautiful gardens, an art gallery, a music hall, a small café and a shop for visitors. The manor is open for prebooked visits only, but the gardens are accessible throughout the whole year. (Source: http://krapperup.se/?lang=en)
We went for a walk – it was really nice. What a charming place! I will plan to return during summer time.
After Krapperup we continued to Mölle, a small town next to the Kullaberg nature reserve. I always stop there at its scenic harbour. The town has a spectacular location, and during summer it is full of life.

The lighthouse at Kullaberg:
We had our brunch al fresco, on the tip of Kullaberg. Freezing cold and fresh wind made it short, but the pleasure was great:
The views from the Kullaberg peninsula are magnifique:
On our way back we stopped and enjoyed the view of Mölle from Kullaberg:
We went to Höganäs, and visited Saluhall (http://www.hoganassaluhall.se/) where we saw the old ovens, and the Saltglaserat’s (http://www.saltglaserat.com/) ceramics:
This is the workshop where the Saltglaserat’s pieces of art are being produced:
My Swedish is rather poor – whilst ordering in a Saluhall’s cafe, I made a mistake. Instead of pointing at that, they offered me a big cup of delicious hot chocolate, for free. Swedish service!
We had some time left for a walk in the Höganäs’ harbour. Note how beautifully the big rocks are laid:
Soon we got back to the flying club. Henrik entertained us playing blues:
And Ulrik was flying drones:
Nordvästra Skånes Flygklubb is known for their warm hospitality. A map on the wall (photo below) displays places this club have had visitors from. Quite impressive!
And our last view of this nature gem before heading home:
